Spoiler season is, as they say, in full swing and I’ve already seen enough to believe Amonkhet will revitalize the Standard meta. Between powerful removal with cycling and aggressive, efficient red spells, the potential archetypes coming about should safely check 4c Saheeli and keep other planeswalker decks down. Since I’m such a fiend for Jund …

Commander is a large facet of MTGCasualPlay. As my favorite casual format, I relish the opportunity to bring a new commander to each table. Occasionally I’ll enjoy a particular deck so much I run it back a few times over just for fun. The last time I did this was with a Surrak deck that …

Hey guys! The last few weeks have been pretty busy with stuff like work and “Real-Life” Magic, but I saw the news from Wizards giving us an early look at Amonkhet with our first (official) spoiler cards. In case you haven’t seen it yet, the link is here. I’ll go ahead and give you a …

Booster Draft is an immensely popular Limited format in which usually 8 players take turns selecting a card out of a booster pack and passing that pack along until all cards from 24 packs have been chosen. If you’ve been playing Magic for any amount of time, chances are good you’ve done a draft at …

Do you know that the best of friends can go weeks or even months without talking and then call one another out of the blue and pick right up where they left off? It’s as if time had never passed. Sure, the conversation can be a bit lengthy since there is a lot of catching …

A lot has happened in the Magic world since I published my last article, most importantly the release of Kaladesh. This is a set with its very own visual style, a style I happen to like a lot and can’t wait to see more of. With energy, Wizards introduced a completely new …

Prossh isn’t for all people he can become so over powered that most metas can’t and will not be able to handle the power he makes. This deck is just that. I designed him not to just have fun to play but to be super fast. Most of the time i will not play Prossh …
